Strangers
It hurts to hear you say the provocative words,
the prelude to a fight that I dont care much for.
You used to hold me closely and tell me the ways of the world,
But now we’re strangers, aren’t we?
Can’t you tell me what changed?
The words I hear speak thousands
ambiguous meanings, hurtful outcomes.
Can’t you just hold me like you used to?
Dont raise your voice, dont say such things,
I swear to god I didn’t mean any harm. I only care
The more you speak, the more the meaning from my life drains
my smile fades. I forget what happiness was to me.
Happiness in love? the true safety and warmth of his embrace.
Oh god, why can’t we go back to how things once were?
a time of love and devotion?
but my futile attempts prove useless. to lose myself to the darkness
bitterness of tears. and even the purest of hearts can give in to the dark.
